- Positive Impact: As mentioned, there are many different agents available. Veritas Backup Exec keeps the price point down to a reasonable level, as you only need to purchase agents for the programs you use.
- Positive Impact: Patches and version updates are frequent. This helps the bottom line by adding features without forcing a purchase of new versions.

- Data is too valuable to not have a trusted backup solution. Veritas Backup Exec provides that.
- The cost is high, but worth it.

Return on Investment
- As a non-profit, we're satisfied with the pricing of Backup Exec's software and licensing.
- We do not utilize Backup Exec's software maintenance option, and feel this hasn't diminished our experience with their product.
- Overall, Backup Exec is a reliable solution for backup, recovery, and restoration. We've never required support from Veritas or had any patch or compatibility issues.

- As the person tasked with the job of protecting the company's data, I am glad that Backup Exec performs that job well. I am able to often set-it-and-forget-it and go about the rest of my duties. I have never had a situation where Backup Exec was called upon to restore data and it was unable to do so. This reflects well on both me and my department and provides a sense of security to the rest of the company.
- I am not making full use of the product and have not licensed a number of its features, but even the base feature set is impressive. To be clear, Backup Exec is no longer the only product we reply upon for data protection, but it is still a large part of that program. If an SMB can find the budget to afford to license the set of features meet its particular demands, Backup Exec will do what you need.
- As an industry leader, Backup Exec is well positioned to stay at the head of the pack (as they have done for many years) and provide their customers with a comprehensive set of capabilities that will always remain in the forefront of technology.
Return on Investment
- Veritas Backup Exec is good for single file restores. We have had to restore files from a few months back without any problem.
- Veritas has saved us money by reverting work that was overwritten by a past employee.
- Sometimes tapes can be overwritten by accident when you inventory it for restore, which can be an issue.

- Great cost effective tool to utilize with external media. It provides backups for a low cost and does the job well.
- This product is great as long as the administrator(s) are willing to do the manual effort of rotating media for offsite backups.
- Restoration of data and servers has almost always gone to plan which is to be expected of an industry leading software.

- The ability to recover highly sensitive data has always been important. It will get this done from a file server aspect.
- We decided we needed to look elsewhere for our virtual environment backup solutions.

Return on Investment
- Not sure on the ROI on this product as we have to renew it every year to keep current!
- It is a rock solid product for backup those servers that must have a backup.
- Would like to see improvement on times it takes to do a restore from backup but again I understand the limitations are due to the tape device.

Return on Investment
- Backups by their very nature are difficult to quantify when it comes to ROI. Any monies spent should be seen more as insurance . If you never have to claim on it then that is the best outcome. Backup Exec gives you comfort that you can meet any downtime recovery targets set by your business and this is how to benchmark your solution.
- Conduct regular DR tests and your this will be your ROI.
Return on Investment
- Once the backup strategy is correctly set, almost no time is required to take care of the backup. So that amount of time can be used for other tasks.
- The quality of Backup Exec to backup data and restore data (all of them or pieces of them) helped us to have IT department certified ISO9001.
- Some contacts at Symantec support service were not good (no real solution provided, the contact person was never the same for multiple contact of a same support ticket, so a lot of time was wasted).

Return on Investment
- ROI should definitely be valued based on the time saved
- Less resources needed
- In large infrastructures, it can save on the number of personnel involved in system control
Return on Investment
- Efficient support staff
- Responsive partner reps
- Streamlined product
Return on Investment
- For my customers who purchase Symantec products they see an increase in efficiency on the employee side and customer facing side of their businesses.
